Maybe there are different servers you can play on that are set up like that?

NOTE: I have no idea if that'd work from our point of view, I'd have to think about it, so please consider this just me contributing to the conversation rather than an actual idea about something being added to the game.

I wouldn't mind the idea of having separate servers that have win conditions, however, my biggest concern would be whether it drags players away from the main game. It'd probably be great when PS2 is at the stage where multiple servers are fully filled, so you wouldn't have to worry about players moving to end-game servers resulting in smaller fights on the persistent servers.

If you had servers like that, that does provide something fresh and a little bit different, which could be cool You could have all kinds of events and stuff that take place over the course of a day. But yeah, you'd probably find the biggest opposition to that from this crowd would be whether it steals players away from the main game.
